28 Aug Building Permit Increase A Good Sign For Prices

If you’re shopping for a house to buy, you’re probably concerned about pricing and affordability. After all, even in a buyer’s market, house hunters have an interest in getting the best deal possible. Which means most prospective home buyers have an eye on home prices and where they are headed. In today’s market, the best way to get a feel for what is happening with home values is to look at inventory. That’s because prices have been increasing recently due to the fact that there are more buyers than there are homes for sale. And the quickest way to slow down increasing prices is to build more homes. That’s why the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s new residential construction statistics for July 2018 offer some encouraging news. According to the report, permits to build new homes are now 4.2 percent higher than at the same time last year in 2017.
